What was reported inside it
| Time | Report | Where | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 7, 9:00 PM EDT | HAIL 0.75 | Burlington, CT |
Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The watch it was issued in
The SPC watch in force over the same counties when this warning went out.

FRANKWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Boston/Norton, MA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 7, 4:04 PM EDT, 4 hours 41 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 4:04 PM EDT, 4 hours 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA 404 PM EDT THU AUG 7 2008 .SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER LEVEL POOL OF COLD AIR...HIGHLY UNUSUAL IN ITS SUMMERTIME PERSISTENCE OVER THE NE USA...WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND... RESULTING IN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVENING STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. A THREAT FOR A BOUT OF HEAVIER RAINS MAY DEVELOP SOMETIME IN THE MON-WED PERIOD. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING/... VERY ACTIVE ACROSS INTERIOR SNE THIS AFTERNOON WITH NUMEROUS REPORTS OF LARGE HAIL. MAJORITY OF REPORTS HAVE BEEN HAIL BUT WE HAD AN UNCONFIRMED REPORT OF A TORNADO IN SUNDERLAND IN FRANKLIN COUNTY WITH DECENT ROTATION DEPICTED BY 88D. COLD AIR ALOFT WITH 500 MB TEMPS AROUND -15C WITH MLCAPES 1000-1500 J/KG RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TSTMS WITH LARGE HAIL. EXPECT SHOWERS/TSTMS TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING AND GRADUALLY SPILL EWD INTO THE COASTAL PLAIN AS INSTABILITY AND COLD AIR ALOFT PERSISTS. MAIN THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL REMAIN IN THE INTERIOR THROUGH THIS EVENING ALTHOUGH SOME SMALL HAIL POSSIBLE IN THE COASTAL PLAIN. && .SHORT TERM /10 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... UPPER TROF AMPLIFIES AS IT MOVES EWD THROUGH NEW YORK STATE TONIGHT AS ASSOCD COLD FRONT APPROACHES BERKSHIRES. GIVEN COLD TEMPS ALOFT PERSISTING AND GFS INDICATING DECENT INSTABILITY ALL NIGHT COMBINED WITH GOOD UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS...EXPECT OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND SCT TSTMS TO CONTINUE ACROSS SNE FOR MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AND THIS WILL BE REFLECTED BY HIGHER POPS. GFS INSTABILITY TARGETS EASTERN MA AND RI LATE TONIGHT. ISOLD SVR POSSIBLE WITH HAIL PRIMARY THREAT. FRI...UPPER TROF MOVES ACROSS NEW ENGLAND WITH 500 MB TEMPS -15C AND STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. IN ADDITION...COLD FRONT MOVES INTO SNE WHICH SHOULD PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR MORE SHOWERS/TSTMS ACROSS THE REGION AND SO WE WILL CONTINUE THE HIGH POPS. MLCAPES FCST 1000-1500 J/KG IN THE INTERIOR WHICH WOULD SUGGEST A REPEAT OF TDAS CONVECTION ON FRI. CLOUDS AND MORNING SHOWERS COULD BE A LIMITING FACTOR...BUT CROSS SECTIONS INDICATE ENOUGH THINNING IN THE MOISTURE FIELD WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR SOME SUNSHINE. BUT NOT SURE HOW MUCH. 0-6KM SHEAR NOT ESPECIALLY STRONG FRI AND MAIN THREAT WOULD AGAIN SEEM TO BE LARGE HAIL WITH WIND A SECONDARY CONCERN. COLD FRONT MOVES OFFSHORE FRI EVENING SO EXPECT A DRYING TREND FRI NIGHT. WE WILL CONTINUE CHC POPS IN THE EVENING THEN CLEARING OVERNIGHT AS DRIER WESTERLY FLOW DEVELOPS. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... SATURDAY... THE COLD POOL ALOFT REMAINS OVERHEAD BUT OUR LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LOOKS TO MIX OUT WITH DEWPOINTS FALLING INTO THE 50S. THEREFORE...MAINLY EXPECTING A DRY DAY WITH PERHAPS AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR TWO DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. WILL JUST RUN WITH A 15 TO 20 POP TO COVER THIS POTENTIAL FOR NOW...BUT OVERALL IT LOOKS LIKE A PARTLY SUNNY AND MAINLY DRY DAY. HIGHS SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S. SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT... THE MODELS ARE NOW SHOWING A FAIRLY SIMILAR SOLUTION ON SUNDAY. UPPER TROUGH SENDS OUT SOME SHORTWAVE ENERGY. THIS COMBINED WITH THE COLD AIR ALOFT SHOULD TRIGGER SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON OR NIGHT. THIS LOOKS TO OCCUR FIRST ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND THEN THE ACTIVITY SHOULD MAKE ITS WAY TO THE COASTAL PLAIN. THE MODELS DIFFER ON THE TIMING. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN IS MARGINAL BUT MID LEVEL WIND FIELDS LOOK DECENT. THEREFORE...IF WE CAN GET ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BACK ALONG WITH SURFACE HEATING THERE WILL BE THE THREAT FOR SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THIS REMAINS UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME AND WILL JUST HAVE TO SEE HOW THINGS EVOLVE OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS. FOR NOW WILL GO WITH CHANCE POPS BUT GO WITH HIGH CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE INTERIOR. LATER SHIFTS MAY HAVE TO UPGRADE TO LIKELY POPS FOR PORTIONS OF THE REGION IF MODELS STAY ON TRACK. MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... PRETTY JUST POPULATED WITH THE GFS MOS GUIDANCE TO HELP OUT WITH ON GOING SEVERE WEATHER. THERE IS THE THREAT OF A DECENT ROUND OR TWO OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME. MODELS DIFFER ON TIMING AND DID NOT GET TO REALLY LOOK AT IT TO MUCH BECAUSE OF ON GOING WEATHER. && .AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... TONIGHT...CIGS BCMG MVFR OR IFR IN WEAK SLY FLOW WITH SHOWERS AND SCT TSTMS. FRI...GRADUALLY BECOMING VFR...EXCEPT MVFR IN SCT SHWRS/TSTMS. OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... VFR LIKELY ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS AS WELL AS PATCHY GROUND FOG IN THE TYPICALLY PRONE LOCATIONS. && .MARINE... WINDS AND SEAS REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS THROUGH FRI NIGHT. WINDS GENERALLY SOUTHERLY BELOW 20 KTS TONIGHT/FRI BECOMING WESTERLY FRI NIGHT. HOWEVER...SCT TSTMS EXPECTED LATER THIS EVENING INTO FRI WHICH MAY PRODUCE BRIEF GUSTY WINDS AND HIGHER SEAS. OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... LOOKS RATHER TRANQUIL AS SEAS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE 1 TO 4 FOOT RANGE WITH SUSTAINED WINDS GENERALLY LESS THAN 15 KNOTS. HOWEVER...MARINERS WILL HAVE TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WHICH COULD BRING LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND SEAS ALONG WITH AN ATTENDANT LIGHTNING THREAT. && .HYDROLOGY... WITH WEAK WIND FIELD ALOFT...SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAIN IN A SHORT TIME PERIOD THROUGH FRI. PWATS NOT VERY HIGH BUT SLOW MOVEMENT IS A CONCERN. GENERAL RIVER FLOODING NOT ANTICIPATED...BUT LOCALIZED URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING POSSIBLE. ALSO...SOME OF THE FASTER RESPONDING SMALL STREAMS WILL BE AT RISK FROM ANY SLOW MOVING STORMS. && .BOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. MA...NONE. NH...NONE. RI...NONE.
